14.5x114 A serious piece of engineering!

A couple of weeks back a few of us were lucky enough to be invited to “bond” for a few hours with this masterpiece.
This locally manufactured military rifle is a work of art. I’m biased of course, but I really appreciate good engineering and this thing is properly made.
14.5x114 throws 1000grains (about) at 1000m/s (maybe a bit over)
For those that have never fired a large caliber rifle, think “Thors hammer”
For perspective, this has about the same energy at 1000m as a .50 has at the muzzle.
It’s hands down, the single most violent thing I’ve ever pulled a trigger on.
Watch the frames at the end of the video.
It’s a multi purpose tool. Clears your sinuses while trimming your hair with fire, all while lighting two braais (one on each side)
Jokes aside. It’s a seriously impressive piece of kit.
Gives me a bit of hope frankly, that this capability still exists in the country.
Now the only problem is, how do I get to own one ?!?!?

Guaranteed to clear your sinuses and deviate your septum! Nice piece of artillery.

[@arieltraasdahl-xh6ri]

Anything over 0.51 caliber in this country requires a Destructive Devices license, if I recall correctly. Otherwise this'd be pretty cool.
